Administrative officer with an interest in financial management and policy

Are you interested in financial management and policy? And would you like to go right into the engine room where we draft the Finance Act for one of the major welfare areas? Then we have the perfect position for you in the Ministry of Employment and Equality's Office for Economics and Analysis.

A job at the intersection of economics and politics Economics and Analysis is a versatile economics office that covers the entire employment area. One of our most important tasks is to coordinate and prepare the ministry's contribution to the Finance Act, coordinate the annual finance bill follow-ups and manage the ministry area's budget of about DKK 300 billion annually. We work closely with the rest of the ministry and our agencies as well as contribute to political initiatives and major reforms.

We also work closely with the Ministry of Finance, and you will gain broad insight into the Finance Act process, the management of public finances and fiscal policy.

About the position You will become part of our team that works with the legally mandated schemes, including the majority of state income transfers (e.g., OAP, unemployment benefits and housing allowance). Your tasks will include:

• Preparation and development of the Finance Act, including preparation of activity and expenditure estimates for specific income transfers
• Follow-up on expenditures relative to appropriations for specific income transfers
• Assistance to the minister and the department head in matters of an economic nature, e.g. cases handled by the government's Economic Committee
• Answering parliamentary questions and other inquiries from political actors
• Cross-cutting projects in the department and/or office
• Close collaboration with the rest of the department, our agencies and the Ministry of Finance

The tasks will give you a solid foundation in the employment area and political processes as well as great insight into the work with the Finance Act, which is central to work at Slotsholmen.

About the office You will be part of an office with 36 skilled colleagues, a deputy head and two office heads. We place great emphasis on personal and professional development as well as on creating good opportunities for our staff. There is room for a good mood, and we have a very good social life in the office.

We prioritize a professionally strong environment where we help each other and together raise the level of our work. We believe that the best solutions are created when we spar with each other – and when we dare to question whether we do things in the best way.

We therefore place great emphasis on you being a good colleague who contributes to the community. You should be willing to take responsibility for your own tasks, but also be the one who lends a hand when a colleague needs it, or when a new task suddenly lands.

Become our new colleague We imagine that you

• Have a social science profile, e.g. cand.scient.pol., cand.polit., cand.oecon. or similar
• Have a flair for numbers and can navigate Excel
• Have the ability to see the big picture as well as dig into the details
• Are good at communicating complex material briefly and understandably
• Are good at collaborating across – both internally in the ministry and with external partners
• Want to work in a political organization close to Christiansborg

You can be a recent graduate or have some years of experience. Knowledge of the employment area, public financial management and working in the central administration is an advantage but not required.

You will be employed as a fuldmægtig under the state academicians’ collective agreement.

Your daily workplace is Holmens Kanal 20, 1060 Copenhagen K.
